* There is a ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' card game, but its rules tend to make little sense. The designers seem to fail to appreciate that resource systems are more about time than actual resources.
* ''Hyborian Gates'', based off RobertEHoward's writings, features 100% recycled Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell art.
* Showing there's a Christian version of everything, ''Redemption''. Picture a game where every character has the exact same stats. And since those stats are all 6, one must wonder if ''Magic'' is really [[EveryoneIsSatanInHell the satanic game]].

* ''ASongOfIceAndFire'' has had a card game.

to:

* ''ASongOfIceAndFire'' has had a spinoff card game.game, called Game Of Thrones. When first released, it was a fairly traditional [=CCG=], with base decks augmented by booster packs. Starting in 2007, though, it converted to what the makers call a [="LCG"=], or Living Card Game. A $40 starter set will get use the starting decks for four main Houses, with additional sets for players wanting to play as other Houses or with expanded options for one of the 'core' Houses (Stark, Banatheron, Lannister, and Targaryen). Since then, though, the makers have released monthly "chapter" packs: Basically 60-card booster packs with identical contents to eliminate random collections, arrayed in six chapter arcs built around a general theme or region, much like [=M:tG's=] card block system. One of the longest lasting card games on the market aside from [=M:tG=] and the Pokemon [=CCG=], in continuous production since 2002.

It did have one noteworthy feature, a website app and proxying rule which allowed players to generate and print tournament-legal cards representing their characters.
